6-Day Marangu Route Kilimanjaro Trek: Summit Uhuru PeakA 6-day trek up Mount Kilimanjaro via the Marangu Route, starting at the gate and climbing through forest, moorland and alpine desert to Uhuru Peak (5,895m).

Minimum age 15; moderate fitness required.Is it for me?The midnight summit push and steep sections demand sustained effort over six days—this trek suits climbers with moderate fitness who can walk uphill for hours and handle altitude above 4,700m. The hut-based format means you walk carrying only a day pack, but early starts, thin air and the final 12–15 hour summit day are the trade-off for not camping.

Hotel pickup from Arusha, all park fees, and camp accommodation are included; you bring fitness, trekking poles, and layers for temperatures that drop well below freezing at altitude.
